Re: Eye half closed with DOC BAND?

[Guest guest]

Hi t,

It is normal for the eye to get a little squished. Most people say this is okay.

At your next adjustment you can ask the clinician to adjust the band so this is

less of a problem, but I think it is okay for now. You might want to take a

photo and send to the doctor to see if it is too squished. My daughter wore a

starband and didn't have this problem.

Do you speak spanish? There is a spanish group too, and some members go to

the same clinic. But I understand if english is easier for you :-)

Hello t,My daughter had a squished eye at times in her band--very normal. Our orthotist said that we could rub a tiny bit of baby cornstarch in my daughter's helmet in the area that was pushing down the forehead. It seemed to help some, but we had a different type of band. Ask your provider for suggestions. Good luck!-Amy From: christineashok <christineashok@...>To:
